To all AFSCME-represented patient care employees

YOU DESERVE A CONTRACT –

NOT ANOTHER STRIKE 

For two years, UC has bargained in good faith with AFSCME.  We have met nearly all of the union’s demands. Now AFSCME wants even more and is again threatening patient care with another strike vote on March 12-13.

IT’S TIME TO END THE CONFLICT

We urge employees to vote NO to another strike.
